I have some 160 GB of files on machine Alice, and 172 GB of files on machine 
Bob. Actually, Bob contains the same 160 GB that Alice has, plus 12 GB of new 
files. 
What I want to do, is using Nautilus to copy the 12 GB of new files and folders 
from Bob to Alice. I connect both ('Connect to Server ...') and copy all 172 GB 
from Bob to Alice; hoping that I can 'Skip' the existing ones. Alice has 25 GB 
of free space, so there is no problem. Alas, Nautilus tells me that it can't do 
the copy, because it wants 172 GB of free space, since Bob has 172 GB of files. 
How can I perform the copy, since the 25 GB are more than enough for the 12 GB 
of new files?

Here I'd like to have a 'force' option, because the space is sufficient for the 
new files.

Thanks,

Uwe

P.S.: Of course, I can do some tricky things around it, but I think it would be 
good the file manager could do the job for me. :)
